tone Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Hi Guys, One for you techies out there. As you know the poor little 1.4Tdci Ford/Citroen/Peugeot engine fitted to my Mk7 (Fiesta Van)is lacking an intercooler. And although I've fitted a " plug in tuning box" and the performance has improved, I am getting round to thinking how much better it could be with an intercooler. In the past I upgraded one on a LR Discovery 2.5Tdi, manufactured by "Allisport" the difference was noticeable beyond belief. So I'm convinced that if I can fit one to the 1.4 engine I would experience an increase in bhp of around 20-25%. I was thinking of using the one from the 1.6 Tdci engine, I'm assuming it has one, and although a different engine the mountings for the intercooler would be easy to fit in front of the rad. It might mean getting some hoses made up/modified, I would think. The questions are, Has anybody actually carried out this modification. Do Citroen/Peugeot have an intercooler fitted to this engine in any of their range which I might be able to use. I will be contacting Allisport to see if they can make one c/w hoses but I thought I'd ask the knowledgable chaps on the forum first.

aph1101 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Hi, I have no experience of doing this, but I do know that the 1.6tdci (found in the MK7) is fitted with an intercooler. :) Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tone Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hi Tone a quick google found just what your looking for > h**p://www.fiestamk6.com/joomla/index.php/ford-fiesta-mk6-engine/35-ford-fiesta-mk6-engine-and-performance/48-ford-fiesta-mk6-intercooler Guys Thanks for your input. I managed to get a look at a 3 Door Zetec S at the local dealers. The intercooler is mounted at the side of the rad but because I had air-con installed the pipework is all situated where the intercooler would go. Me thinks this will need a little bitv more thought. But thanks for the replies I will keep you updated. Tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
